No backup dancers or singers, no big screens, smoke or lasers, just basic stage lighting unlike what you see today, it's amazing to see what pure talent can do. LRB has always been among my favorites and I would love to see modern day upstarts take serious note and maybe rekindle some of this magic, I'd much rather see my ticket money go towards something other than overpriced gimmicks...

[@jed1166]

Saw this tour show in Northern California. It as some of the best musicianship and singing I have ever heard live,(and I have heard virtually every legacy band live)… LRB was a great band, and in my mind, Shorrock is the best of the best! He could sing absolutely anything and everything, and never break a sweat! In my mind, the best rock singer of all, because nothing was difficult, or a reach for him… it was all easy… casual greatness! Birtles and Goble, both excellent musicians/ guitarists and singers, we’re just icing on the cake, but for me Shorrock was the voice of LRB… totally authentic and real …the Farnham years were simply wasted time..

I saw them with my little sister, at the Syria Mosque and we were given a LRB leather keyring as a bonus souvenir, that I wore out in a coupla years. I was especially impressed with Beeb Birtles, as he grooved around while he played his guitar and sang! He moved like a snake with legs! I loved their vocals . They shared a tie-in with the Beatles, George Bennett, I believe, was his name. That, in itself, caused me to pay closer attention to them, & their harmonies kept me well impressed. I used to sing high soprano in our church choir, so I always appreciated good vocals. Thank u, Glenn, Beeb, & Company for the superb music!

[@fuzzogoblue]

I love this concert video for several reasons. LRB (all early band line-ups) is in my top 5 bands of all time. I believe that this actual concert footage was "one of the first" concerts broadcast on HBO. I was actually at this concert (ticket was $6.50) and my ticket stub is in a box somewhere in my storage area. The concert was held in the Houston arena formerly known as The Summit (1975-98) Compaq Center (1998-2003) and it hosted the Houston Rockets NBA team. Since 2003 the arena was renovated and is known as Lakewood Church and is host to Joel Osteen and his Ministries.

[@cinnamongirl7877]

YES!!!! I was a senior in high school and these guys played at the Nashville State Fair and my ticket was 7.00!!!! It was my first concert and I’ve been hooked ever since. Their harmonies are like no other. Those were the good ole days for music!!!

Actually this footage was from Reunion arena in Dallas TX. The highway footage was on the LBJ and Jim Miller Road. And when they're going up the elevator that's at the reunions Arena ball tower thats right above The Reunion Arena.
